While providing some predictability, the weight of the past can often prevent us from experiencing life for what it is, or how we want it to be. A prayer learned, a candle lit on a certain day, the flag displayed, the language spoken, the God adored and even what you aspire to be may be different if you were born to a different reality.
As of late, my life has been marked by change…either prompted by my inner desires or by outside events. Childhood memories become so comforting in times like these when you feel homesick but home feels foreign.
My journey to self-discovery has led me to India. I do not even know what attracts me to this place; I just know that I must follow. And in the most unlikely circumstances, I have decided to honor this and decided to take a trip to Delhi. From what I have heard, India is a place that I will love and hate at the same time and maybe it is its contrasts that I find attracting because I guess I, myself, am a person of marked contrasts. But maybe it’s just a matter of taking a journey to a place no one in my immediate surroundings has ever taken before. Submerging myself in a different normality in hopes that maybe in the anonymity of its masses, I may find myself.
Excited but exhausted, I am choosing to make my own path.
Who will I be when no one is looking?
